Kitāb al-Ḍuʿafāʾ

Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Ghaḍāʾirī (5th c.) a liar

علي بن أحمد

The ascription of this book to Ibn al-Ghaḍāʾirī is disputed; al-Khoei held it unproven («الكتاب المنسوب إلى ابن الغضائري… لم يثبت»).

كذاب، غال، صاحب بدعة ومقالة. رأيت له كتبا كثيرة، لا يلتفت إليه.

A liar, a ghālī, the possessor of a bidʿa and a doctrine. I saw he has many books, he is not turned to.
